For a while (probably a long while) print and electronic publications will co-exist. In fact, print books about electronic publication are popular sellers. (Just check out the "Computers" rack in any bookstore!)

Below is a list of books which you might consult from time to time during the course. Those that I own are marked with a star. All of these will be on the table in my office (SI 127) next to a pad of paper you can use to sign them out. (Those that I don't own you can try to get via interlibrary loan.)

Ted Nellen has assembled a very impressive booklist of computer-related stuff (including a lot of novels). And don't ignore the excellent bibliography in CyberReader.
